E3 2018 ARTICLE: The Poké Ball Plus will come with a free Mew

Nintendo’s new Poké Ball Plus controller will debut in November alongside the new Pokémon: Let’s Go! games. This controller is an actual Poké Ball that you can carry around and use to catch Pokémon in both Let’s Go! and Pokémon Go. Not only can you use it to catch Pokémon and transfer monsters between Pokémon Go and Let’s Go!, the device will also light up and shake, and the Pokémon “inside” will make noises, creating as realistic a Pokémon experience as you can get.

If you’re impatient to catch your own Pokémon right away, fear not. The Poké Ball plus will come with an exclusive Pokémon already inside: the legendary Pokémon Mew. That’s right. You can start your Pokémon: Let’s Go! game with a Mew. Considering that Mew is notoriously hard to obtain in the games (usually event-only), this exclusive Pokémon will be a prized addition to any trainer’s Pokédex.
